I am concocting another Once Upon a Thread! If you're new here, this is an event where I invite guest bloggers to join me in a bit of sewing inspiration from children's books. Here's a glimpse from the March fun we had:

Instead of being a month long, though, it will last just two weeks. Two lovely, sweet weeks that I will savor! I would, of course, like everyone to play along, but here are the guest bloggers I have lined up, some returning, and some first-time guests, all amazingly talented women:

I want this to be fun. If you want to use a pattern, great! [Just give credit if you've used someone's tutorial or pattern.] If you want to come up with something completely your own, kudos! It can be something literal, like an outfit from the book, or something more abstract inspired by the words and story. You are welcome to do clothes for kids, clothes for you, toys, accessories, games, whatever strikes your needle, just as long as it's made by you. Knitters and crocheters are also welcome. I'm not picky, hehehe.

What else should you know?

In addition to inspirational work of you and the above bloggers, there is going to be a ThanksGiveaway Day on Thanksgiving based on the theme of sewing, children's books, and reading.

When is this party starting?

Beginning November 14th and going until the 25th. I will do a wrap-up and feature of some of YOUR projects after that, as well as announce winners of the giveaways, so make sure you add your projects to the Once Upon a Thread Flickr group.
